Inter reopens the Scudetto race, Naples shy. Milan lacks the cynicism of Juventus-Corriere.it

Inter reopens the Scudetto race, Milan and Juventus thank them and take advantage of it. The restart after the World Cup and 52 days off overturns many beliefs, especially the apparent invulnerability of Napoli. Spalletti remains firmly in command, but his opponents are threatening: Pioli with 5 points, Allegri with 7 and Inzaghi with 8.

But more than on the standings, the leaders must reflect on its dangerous involution. A shy, horizontal team that is satisfied with sterile ball possession and worries Onana only once, in the end. Osimhen doesn’t attack depth, Kvara hardly ever lights up, Zielinski is irritable. Even Spalletti’s choices are not very convincing. His band lights up only at the end, moved by desperation and by the energy of the gearboxes, Ndombele, Elmas and Raspadori.

Inzaghi confirms that he is at ease in these nights of no return. Inter manage to handle the pressure and take possession of the match coming out from distance. Simone’s choices are correct starting from the attack with the two towers: Lukaku keeps the Napoli defense on alert and Dzeko, the fittest of the company, knocks it out. A practical, concrete team, capable of suffering, finally solid and impenetrable in defence.

Milan restarted where it left off, in the name of the usual rampant boys, Leao and Tonali, whom Pioli waited for, pampered and launched. A strange game, which the second in the class first dominated and then risked throwing away due to the saves of the debutant Ochoa but also due to the absurd vice of not being able to close it. Cynicism is an indispensable quality to hunt down Napoli.

Juve responded only to the last breath in Cremonese’s house, penultimate, thanks to the punishment of the specialist Milik. A cheerful victory, with a short face, with little play, a lot of suffering and a good slice of luck, even if the absolute emergency with which the black and whites are forced to live should not be overlooked. Max called it a starting point, it’s actually the seventh in a row without conceding a goal. The youngsters keep the scruffy lady up but if with the return of her stars Madama manages to redo her make-up, she could become Napoli’s most dangerous rival.
